The system opened on December 8, 2009, to connect the airport's domestic terminal with the newly opened rental car center and Gateway Center of the
Georgia International Convention Center. Unlike
The Plane Train, which is underground inside the secure zone of the airport, the ATL SkyTrain is located outside the airport's secure zone and is elevated, crossing
I-85. The ride between the terminal and the rental car center takes 5 minutes, with trains running at 3 minute intervals during peak times. The station at the terminal is located on the west end of the Domestic Terminal, adjacent to
MARTA's
Airport station. The system's announcements are voiced by professional voice talent
Sharon Feingold, who is also the voice behind the
Incline Railway at
Lookout Mountain in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, and since March 2012, the voice behind
The Plane Train. In 2020, the airport authority opened a new remote
parking garage (ATL West) adjacent to the GICC Gateway stop, connected by an elevated walkway.
